Caresse Ford: Cheap drinks great staff!!!!
James J: Breakfast foods or mozzarella sticks are the way to go.
Gia Farruggia: Awesome little diner. Polite, efficient staff. Very clean. Good prices. And, the ultimate sign of a good diner - good pickles, good 'slaw. Love it.

Steph Lira: The patacón pabellón was delicious, with a Polar beer to make it a true Venezuelan authentic meal.
Leia: Order tres leches cake for dessert! I'm not usually a fan of tres leches bc of how moist it is but this one was delicious and not overly moist.
The New York Times: Order a patacón Maracucho in this full-service setting. Fillings include asado negro, pot roast in a sweet onion-and-red-wine sauce, and carne mechada, stewed shredded flank steak. Read more.

Daniel L.: blackened chicken pasta w/ penne al freddo and sun dried tomatoes (not on the menu, but you can create it) is awesome! Don't be overwhelmed by the 'dictionary' of a menu.
Tom W: Great for that after-doctor pick-me-up
LogoTV: My favorite place to eat! It's like the gay Cheers. The atomosphere is so inviting and the home cooking is just like Mom's (if she could cook, I mean). - Mike Ruiz, The A-List: New York
Spotted by Locals - city guides by locals: On the weekends, they often have a DJ spinning, so the chill music, along with the drinks and this gorgeous city as your backdrop make the Americano rooftop bar a must! Read more.
Jimmy Wales: Run away as fast as you can.
Isabella Serrani: Terrible service because they are really busy and very touristy. I was over it in 10 mins.

scott "sfliny" falcone: The chicken parm is fantastic! As is the nicely toasted garlic bread served. The portion of the entree is generous and the prices are reasonable. Try it once and you'll find yourself coming back.
LogoTV: "Delish Italian food in the heart of Chelsea served by smokin' hot boys. Nuff said." – Helen, Setup Squad
Showtime Network: For a limited time on Mondays through Thursdays, enjoy unlimited Champagne or Champagne cocktails for $10 or a free appetizer when you mention The Borgias on SHOWTIME®.

Louis Matta: Very friendly staff, good service, and wonderfully spacious. Solid diner.
Paul Noonan: Someone was murdered here.
Taj W.: Nice and friendly waitstaff. I asked my waiter, "which booth was the guy killed in", and he then proceeds to point at the lampshade right above my head with the bullet hole...
